This plugin adds support for SVG images to MediaGoblin. For now, it simply converts uploaded images to PNG and provides a link for downloading the original image at the media display page. SVG rendering can be performed either by using python-rsvg and cairo libraries or by the rsvg command-line utility (default behaviour).

Download and install mediagoblin_svg:

pip install https://github.com/commonsmachinery/mediagoblin_svg/tarball/master

Add the plugin to your mediagoblin_local.ini:

[[mediagoblin_svg]]

Run dbupdate to initialize the SVG data tables:

./bin/gmg dbupdate

And restart the server.

Displaying SVG images directly in the browser is controlled by two options called svg_thumbnails and svg_previews. Specify them in your mediagoblin_local.ini as follows:

[[mediagoblin_svg]]
svg_previews=True
svg_thumbnails=False

It's recommended to run a reprocessing command after changing either of these options:

./bin/gmg reprocess bulk_run mediagoblin_svg resize preview
./bin/gmg reprocess bulk_run mediagoblin_svg resize thumb

The SVG plugin is highly experimental at the moment and using it with your MediaGoblin instance may break things, so please use with caution.
